Alrashied had been rushing to cross as the bus, which had a green light, was turning onto 42nd Street.

“I was just on my way to the shower, and I heard cries,” said Sean Bloch, 27, who lives nearby.

“I heard, ‘Don’t touch her! Don’t move her!’ She was screaming.”

Alrashied was wedged face down under the frame of the Gray Line bus — which had been turning left onto East 42nd Street — between the front and back wheels. Her sunglasses were thrown a few feet and she was clutching her gold purse as she grimaced in pain just feet from the crosswalk.

Passers-by raced to her aide as the 20 horrified sightseers aboard the bus looked on. One Samaritan offered comfort to Alrashied.

“He was attentive to her,” said Bloch, of the man who knelt by the woman’s side and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Witnesses said the unwitting driver tried to move the bus while Alrashied was still pinned beneath it.
